ADU Company in Pomona, CA
Kitchen remodeling in Pomona usually means working inside a 1940s or 1950s stucco tract home with slab-on-grade construction, a compact original footprint, and a detached garage sitting on an alley. Most of these kitchens were built for a different era of cooking, with minimal counter space, one or two circuits, and zero room for a modern appliance package. Holloway ADU Builders has served Pomona since 2016, and we handle the full remodel as well as the ADU work many homeowners are tackling at the same time, whether that means a garage conversion, a backyard unit, or finishing the kitchen inside a newly built ADU. Call (855) 617-6356 to talk through your project.
Why Pomona Homes Are Different
Pomona’s housing stock is overwhelmingly single-story stucco tract homes built between the 1940s and 1960s. That matters for kitchen and ADU work in a few specific ways. First, the original kitchens are almost always closed off from the rest of the house, with load-bearing walls separating them from living and dining rooms. Opening one up requires beam work, which changes the scope and the price. Second, these homes sit on slab foundations, so moving plumbing or adding a gas line means cutting concrete, not crawling under a floor. Third, the detached garages so common across 91766, 91767, and 91768 were never designed for conditioned living space, and many have already been converted without permits. When we take on a kitchen remodel tied to an ADU, we are frequently also correcting unpermitted work so the whole property can pass inspection. Inland heat and Santa Ana wind events also mean we pay close attention to ventilation, window placement, and insulation in any space that will be lived in year-round.
Our Main Pomona Services
Most Pomona homeowners call us for one of two reasons: they want an ADU on their lot, or they want a bathroom brought up to modern standards. Both are covered below, with dedicated pages for each.
ADU Builders in Pomona
Pomona’s postwar lots, especially east of Garey Avenue, are wide and flat with alley access behind the homes. That layout makes detached ADUs genuinely feasible in a way that tighter cities nearby cannot match. The catch is almost always electrical: many of these houses still run on 100-amp panels, and an ADU means a service upgrade before anything else gets built. We navigate that conversation from the first walkthrough. ADU Builders in Pomona breaks down the full process, from panel work to final inspection.
Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona
Original Pomona bathrooms are small, often 5 by 8 feet, with galvanized supply lines that were installed decades ago and are now corroded or leaking. When we remodel one, we are usually replacing the drain and vent stack, reconfiguring the layout for a walk-in shower, and bringing the room up to current code. Slab work for a relocated toilet or drain is common. Bathroom Remodeling in Pomona covers the specifics and typical pricing.

Kitchen Remodeling in Pomona
A Pomona kitchen remodel typically runs $25,000 to $65,000 depending on layout, finish level, and whether walls come down. Because most of the city’s homes are 1940s to 1960s ranchers on slabs, the work usually involves opening a closed-off galley kitchen, replacing all the original wiring and supply lines, and adding circuits so the room can actually handle a modern appliance package. Inland heat pushes us toward ventilation upgrades and windows with proper shading, and many homeowners pair the kitchen work with an ADU build on the same lot, which is where our full-service scope becomes useful. For a broader look at the service, see Kitchen Remodeling.
Full Layout Reconfiguration
Signs you need it
The kitchen is closed off from the rest of the house, the work triangle is broken, or there is no room for two people to cook at once.
What it costs in Pomona
Layout changes with structural work in Pomona typically run $35,000 to $65,000, since slab cutting and beam installation are almost always part of the job.
How we do it
We remove the separating wall or reconfigure the footprint, install the engineered beam per the structural plans, reroute plumbing and electrical through the slab, and rebuild the room as an open or semi-open kitchen.
Cabinet and Surface Replacement
Signs you need it
Cabinet boxes are delaminating or falling apart, countertops are worn through, and the layout itself does not need to move.
What it costs in Pomona
A cabinet and surface replacement without structural changes in Pomona typically starts around $25,000 and climbs based on material choices and cabinet count.
How we do it
We demo the existing cabinets and tops, modify or patch the walls, install new base and upper cabinets with shims for level, set the countertop material, and reconnect plumbing and appliances.
What Kitchen Remodeling Costs in Pomona
| Item | Typical range in Pomona |
|---|---|
| Cabinet and surface replacement | $25,000 – $40,000 |
| Full layout reconfiguration | $35,000 – $65,000 |
| Kitchen plus interior finishing for a new ADU | $20,000 – $45,000 |
Two things push prices up in Pomona more than anything else: slab work for plumbing moves, and panel upgrades when the house still runs on an undersized electrical service. We quote every job with a written line-item estimate before work starts, and the price does not change mid-project unless you change the scope.
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Pomona?
Yes, for any work that moves plumbing, gas, or electrical, or alters a structural wall. Pomona inspections are thorough, and unpermitted kitchen work frequently becomes a problem later when the house is sold or refinanced.
Can you remodel my kitchen and build an ADU at the same time?
Yes, and it is actually common in Pomona. Combining the two projects lets us coordinate the electrical service upgrade, share dumpster and trade scheduling, and often reduces your total cost compared to running the projects separately. Call (855) 617-6356 for a combined estimate.
Brands We Service in Pomona
Holloway ADU Builders works across the full construction spectrum. We are brand-agnostic, and on Pomona jobs we regularly work with Abodu, Cover, and Dvele units depending on the lot, the budget, and the timeline. See our brands for the full list and the tradeoffs between them.

FAQs About ADU Company in Pomona
We typically schedule Pomona estimates within a few business days of your call. A walkthrough of your lot, garage, and existing electrical panel tells us most of what we need to write an accurate quote, and that first visit runs about an hour.
Most Pomona neighborhoods do not have HOAs, but a few of the newer developments around Phillips Ranch do. If yours does, we will help you understand what the HOA requires and sequence that approval alongside the city permit application so nothing stalls.
Yes. Panel and service upgrades are part of most Pomona ADU projects because the original 100-amp service on these homes cannot support a second unit. We pull the permit, coordinate with the utility, and complete the upgrade as part of the same scope, which keeps your project to one contractor and one schedule.

What Pomona Customers Say
"Detached unit in the back yard. Utilities trenched, separate meter, and it passed final on the first inspection."
— Cole Schaefer"Unit came out great and the tenant is happy. The timeline ran long, largely because of how slow the city was on plan check, though a couple of the delays were scheduling on their end."
— Heather Reed"Every invoice was tied to a completed milestone, so I always knew what I was paying for."
— Justin Kim
